[QUOTE="eric, post: 726272, member: 22327"] the drive is likely formatted NTFS. your ideal move is to copy all of the items you want to save from this drive to either your mac, or another external. then reformat the old external as either HFS+ or FAT32 (if you'll be sharing the drive with a windows machine and have no files over 4 GB to store). Then move your data back to the old external. [/QUOTE]
